CK x Haimu Pastel Mint Tactile Switch

These are great. I'll leave it there, The PSA is that you'll want to order switch films. These can wiggle quite a bit between top and bottom housing. Rails seem well lubed, springs unlubed.

I love so much about these switches, but their singular flaw is pretty glaring. I bought 70, which came in two separate bags and the difference in factory lube between them is wild. None are perfect, I'd say they absolutely need tuning if you care about a clean, consistent sound, but the worst offenders have spring crunch like I've never experienced before. They start to veer into the territory of cheap clickies in certain instances.

A spring swap or lube will probably get them where I want and for the budget price I'm not that mad, but definitely be aware of it before purchasing. Otherwise they have a very pleasant, rounded bump to type on and a very mellow, muted sound that I really enjoy. The colors are cute, the housing sturdy, a decent budget pick if you don't mind modding, but for a similar price I found the cream blues, ws tactiles, and even the haimu x geon whites much more suited to a stock experience.

i thought these were going to be good stock because i've had switches manufactured from haimu before, but i had to open most of them up to get rid of the leaf ping. i also felt like they needed filming, but that could be a personal preference. they do sound nice after putting in all the effort

I had somewhat higher hopes after hearing good things about Haimu as well as the description of development for these switches, ie. using the "best of the best" pieces to create the best switch possible.

However, these are essentially unusable to me. They look nice, but sound rattly somehow. I'm hearing spring noises that I've never heard before. So these will probably be given away.

There are switches nowadays at similar price-points that blow these out of the water, and stock, too.

Don't buy switches on hype alone.
